Frenchman convicted of defamation in Mideast case
None
A French media analyst has been convicted of defamation for accusing a state television network of staging a video that depicted Mohammed al-Dura being killed in a firefight between Palestinian militants and Israeli forces.
The footage more than a decade ago galvanized Palestinians and anti-Israeli sentiment in the Mideast. A Paris court fined Philippe Karsenty 7,000 euros Wednesday in the defamation case filed by network France-2. (AP)
